Digiscrap Tuesday Tip: Working with Layers

Okay, folks, this is a long time coming. I know. I'm sorry. I just haven't had the time to put together tutorials myself, so what I'm going to do is every Tuesday spotlight helpful tutorials I've found. These will all be tutorials using Photoshop Elements (or Photoshop), because I frankly think it is the only way to go! And if you are going to pin, PLEASE PIN FROM THE ORIGINAL SOURCE AND NOT FROM ME.

This is a great resource! A free online class from Steph of the Daily Digi. So great. She has a supply list so you know exactly what you need and provides you with the other digital supplies for the layout. Highly recommend starting here.

Another option is a tutorial from the great Ali Edwards. In this video, she shows how to use a layered template in Photoshop (written step by step instructions can be found here). She offers a free template (link found below the template photo) to use as she shows you step-by-step.

This is a terrific place to start. You don't always have to use templates to scrap (though I almost always do!), but this video will give you an understanding of how layers work, so you can create your own layouts in the future.
